Its really hard to argue against your points 13....
I guess we are either going to evolve or not...Can we make today and tomorrow different than yesterday...
I don't disagree with the rose colored glasses version of our history, I just wonder how we will deal with it in the present, with actual history to look back at....Who do we want to be and how do we want to act..
In short, what do we stand for now, are we changing course or will we allow others to commit atrocities that we are hopefully out growing.....
